The show and the Fonz became the focal point instead of the era.davalvideo said:Happy Days...Happy Days....Happy Days. Once Ron Howard and all these other characters started arriving, the whole flavor of the show changed. Also, Happy Days was supposed to take place between the late 1950s and the mid-60's. In the earlier shows, they took effort to make the show look like the era that it occurred. In later years, they stopped caring. Everyone wore hairstyles that no one wore in the early to mid 60's...and the same with their clothing. It ended up looking like an 80's show. The Fonz was so out of place during the later years, and even worse because most of the shows revolved around him. No one wore leather jackets in the mid-60's.
Add to that Joanie's jeri-curl, Marion's Nancy Reagan-esque do, and Chachi's feathered hair.
And we have Laverne and Shirley with short 80s bobs in a time when they should have had Jackie-O dos
And on M*A*S*H, we have BJ's porn-stash and Margret's 80's bangs (M*A*S*H was really a [EDIT-truncated per terms of service]in it's last years with '80s hairdos and '70s politics in '50s Korea)
